About Crowe

Crowe is a leading national firm offering audit, tax, advisory, and consulting services with global reach and local expertise. As an independent member of Crowe Global, one of the top 10 accounting networks worldwide, we have access to over 40,000 professionals across 140+ countries and more than 800 offices globally.

Our vision is to be a leader in our chosen markets, creating lasting value for our clients and our people and being a trusted partner in their success. We are dedicated to driving client success, empowering our people, embracing sustainability, delivering technological change and acting in the public interest.

The team

Our corporate tax team help businesses navigate the complexities of corporate tax, whether undertaking a transaction, needing international tax advice, or support with corporate tax reporting obligations.

You will be a key member of the Cheltenham team from day one and will get involved with client work quickly, exposing you to the depth of services that Crowe provides, and the wide variety of organisations that we advise.

The role

Whilst undertaking the graduate corporate tax assistant position, you will complete a 3-year apprenticeship training contract, where you will study towards the ATT/CTA qualification, providing the foundations for your development and giving you the qualifications and tools you need to succeed in your career.

Our entry requirements

• 2.2 minimum from any degree subject
• BBC (or 112 UCAS points) from three A Levels (or equivalent)
• GCSE grade 4 (C) or above in Mathematics and English Language

The ability to travel to clients and other offices is essential for the role, and a full UK driving license is preferred. Throughout your training programme, you will also be required to attend off-site external training, where overnight stays are necessary.

The person

Your application will not be based on academic performance alone. You will be required to demonstrate the strengths and qualities which underpin our core values, including personal drive, integrity and teamwork. Those who are curious, resilient and agile will thrive.

If you do not meet all the entry requirements, you may still be considered if the rest of your application is strong. If you have any extenuating circumstances that you believe we should consider, and you are comfortable sharing, please let our recruitment team know and this will be looked at alongside your application.

Why Choose Crowe?

Whatever career you choose, whether in audit, tax, marketing or HR, we can offer you a rewarding and clear career pathway, designed to help you develop your existing talents as well as discovering new ones, positioning you to make a meaningful difference to our ever-growing and varied client base.

At Crowe we foster a collaborative and inclusive culture, and we will encourage, support and guide you on an exciting professional journey of self-discovery.

We value innovation and welcome those committed to making a difference for our clients, communities, and colleagues. With access to expert knowledge, continuous learning, competitive salaries, and flexible benefits, you will have the tools to build a rewarding career.

We are committed to diversity in our teams, equal opportunity and merit-based progression. We promote a healthy working environment with flexible working approach alongside dedicated wellbeing support, helping our people to thrive both professionally and personally.
